The finance minister personally came to the scene to support it, and the AI agent went straight into the shopping cart for testing—this rollout speed is much faster than that more regulation-friendly neighbor.

CryptoNews: On Monday, the South Korean Ministry of Finance said the government will advance regulatory reforms, accelerate the application of artificial intelligence in the service sector, and further enhance the competitiveness of the service industry. The service sector accounts for 60% of South Korea’s GDP, and its growth is crucial to the overall economy. Finance Minister Choi Kyu-rium said that the service industry is undergoing profound AI-driven changes, with accelerated integration with the manufacturing sector, driving innovation in public services, and deeply changing everyday life. To help South Korean companies lead the global market, the government will introduce measures as soon as possible to allow AI agents to run tests throughout the entire shopping process. In addition, the South Korean government will also provide policy support for new mobility services such as urban air mobility and AI autonomous driving, and will introduce AI technology in public services including tax payment and administrative services.
